However, I am not seeing much progress of the skin coming off his body. Is this normal or does he need some help..like a warm bath?

He was acting hungry, so I fed him. He ate very quickly. He is just now getting back on feed schedule from fasting due to relocation. He has had only three meals (3 hoppers) since 1/9/09. So, I didnt want him to go too long w/out food. He is only 5 months old.

I am worried why his skin is not coming off. Humidity is 50-70%. It hardly ever falls below 50% and I have been misting when I am home to raise to 70%. Temps are perfect and do not fluctuate as I have a Helix Thermostat controling the temps.

If his skin does not come of soon, will he get sick or something?

Thanks!

50% humidity all the time 70% during a shed cycle . . . let him soak in some water . . . not hotter than 85F take a warm wet towel after he has soaked for about 20 mins and rub him down from head to tail along the spin this should get rid of the stuborn shed . . . sound slike a humidity problem
